To lie on the wool-packs, with a cranny left between the curtains of the awning to let in the sir, was a luxury to Hetty now, |

and she half slept away the hours till the | driver came to ask her if she wanted to get, ,down and have ‘some victual ;’ he himself | was going to eat his dinner at this ‘public.’ | Late at night they reached Leicester, and {90 this second day of Hetty’s journey was

'she had paid for her focd, but she felt that! | this slow journeying would be intolerable | |for her another day, and in the morning ishe found her way to a coach-oflice to ask, about the road to Windsor, and see if it! | would cost her too much to ge part of the! | distance by coach again. Yes, the distance | | was too grcat—the coaches were too dear- she must give them up; but the seta et clerk at the office, touched by her pretty anxious face, wrote down for her the names |

This. was the only comfort she got in Leicoster, for the men stared at her as she! went along the street, and for the first time in her life Hetty wished no one would look at her. She set out walking again; but this! day she was fortunate, for she was soon overtaken by a carrier’s cart which carried | her to Hinckley, and by the help of a re- turn chaise, with a drunken postillion— who frightened her by driving like Jehu the son of Nimshi, and shouting hilarious remarks at her, twisting himself backward on his saddle-—she was before nightin the heart of woody Warwickshire; but still almost a hundred miles from Windsor, they Oh, what a large world it was, and what hard work for her to find her way a es She went by mistake to Stratford-on-Avon, finding Stratford set down in her list of places, and then she was told she came a long way out of the right road! It was not till the fifth day that she got to Stony Stratford. That seems but a slight journey ag you lock on the map, or remember your own pleasant travels to and irom the meadowy banks of the Avon. sat how wearily long it was to Hetty! It seemed to her as if this country of flat fields and hedgerows, and dotted houses, and villages, aad market-towns—all so much alike to her indifferent eyes—must have no end, and she must goon wandering among them forever, waiting tired at toll gates for some cart to come, and then finding that the cart went only a little way—a very little way—to the miller’s, a mile off perhaps ; and she hated going to the public-houses, where she must go to get food and ask questions, because there were always men lounging there, who stared at her and joked her rudely. Her body wes very weary too with those days of new fatigue and anxiety; they had made her look more pale and worr than all the time of hidden creag she had gone through at home. When at last she reached Stony Stratford, her impatience and weariness had become too strong for her economical caution ; she determined to take the coach for the rest of the way, though it did cost her all her remaining money. She would need nothing at Windsor but to find Arthur. When she had paid the fare for the last coach, she had only a shilling; and as she got down at the aign ef the Green Man in Windsor, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the seventh day, hungry and faint, the coachman came up, and begged her to ‘remember him.” She put her hand iu her pocket and took out the shilling, but the tears came with the sense of exhaustion and the thought that she was giving away her last means of getting food, which she really required before she could go in search of Arthur. As she held out the shilling, she lifted up her dark, tear-filled eyes to the voachman’s face, and said ‘‘can you give me back sixpence ?” ‘No, no,’ he said, gruffly, ‘ never mind ; put the shilling up again.’ The landlord of the Green man had gtood near enough tv witnyss this spene, and he wag 2 Wan whose abundant feeding served to keep his good-nature, as well as his person, in high condition. And that lovely tearful face of Hetty’s would have found out the sensitive fiber in most men. ‘Come, young woman, come in,’ he said, ‘and have a drop o’ something; you're pretty well knocked up; 1 cin see that.’ He took her into the bar and said to his wife, ‘ Here, missis, take this young woman into the parlor; she’s a litile o\ercome’—for Hetty’s tears were falling fast. They were merely hysterical tears; she thought she had no reason for weeping naw, and was vexed that she was too weak and tired to help it. Sbe was at Windsor at last, not far from Arthur.

look as bad as possible for Canada. But, if 'we look at the exports of the country,which ae more important in this connection than the aggregate trade. we find that the exports of the products of Canada in 1873 amount-. ed to $88,780,922, and in 1883 to $98,085.- 804, an increase in our exports of $9,295,- 852,or a yearly increas» of nearly a million dollars.

together making a total of £626,451,975. | In 1883 the imports were £426,891,571,and | the exports £239,799,473, making a tetal of £666,691 ,044, showing an increase in 1883, over 1873 of £40,239,069. But, while the. total TRADE HAD INCREASED,

the exports had decreased, In 1875 they amounted to £255,164,603, and in 1883 to £239,799,473, or a decrease in the ten years of £15,365,120, as compared with an | same | period of about $10,000,000. This is quite) a different statement from that of the hon. | gentleman, but it is a correct statement, | and it is the only way in which you can} apply a fair test to the trade of the two countries. But the gist of the hon. gentle- man’s argument was to prove that our trade had fallen off under the National Policy ; that is what he was driving at aji the time, and to show that he was quite incorrect in his statement and that the trade of Canada has

under the National Policy, in four years, or an annual average increase of $19,480,- 905. This, I think, is a fair way to state the trade of Canada ana to place its condi- tion before the countries of the world, and not the way in which the hon. gentleman from Queen’s has done it. But the hon. gentleman was not satisfied with comparing the trade of Canada with the trade of Eng- land and placing our trade in as unfavor- able a position as possible, in comparison with the TRADE OF THE O4,D COUNTRY,

but he made a somparison of the working- men of Canada with the workingmen of Kngland, and he endeavors to show us that the workingmen of England were better clothed, better fed, and better paid than the workingmen of Canada. I will read to you what he said with regard to that mat- ier, He is referring now to a pamphlet on political economy by Mongredin, and he says :—

“The poor people in England have better food and the purchasing power of their wage: enables them to buy double the quantity cf food they did tep years ago. I may be par- doned for reading the figures in regard to five articles. In 1871 they consumed per head of bacon 1°38 Ib., and in 1877 8 th3.; of wheat and flour they consumed 150 Ibs, in 1871, and 203 lbs in 1877; af raw sugar they consumed 41 ibs. in 187], avd 54 Ibs, in 1877; of tea 3-92 los. in 1871, and 44 lbs, in 1577: and of tobac- co 1°36 1b in 1871, and 1°49 Ib. in 1877 Here we see that this course, good food—leaving out the article of tobacco —bacon, wheat, flour and sugar, are consumed per head in double the quantities in England to-day that they were ten yearsago. ‘lhe wages of the Eng- lish workingmau enable him to buy better avd more food for himself and his family than he could ten yeais ago. Can you say as much for Canada to-day’ 1 say you cannot, ’ That was the statement of the hon. gentle- man, and you will notice how unfair he is again. He takes the period from 1871 to 1877, in England, end he compares that with the Canada of to-day. If he wanted to make a fair and impartial statement of the condition of the workingmen of the two countries he ought to take the work

3ut I do net think, locking at his list of that tho English workingman could suffer much from indigestion ; at all events, Ido not think that a pound and a-half of bacon in a year wonld overload his stomach to any great extent. I would be

sorry to sce the workingmen of Canada obliged to live on se small a quantity. But, to show the condition of the workingmen in England to-day, I will reed you a cablegram, published in the press of this country,

dated London, 17th January, 1885, which shows that there is not that great prosper- ity in England amongst the working classes that he would have us believe :

‘“‘A mass meeting of unemployed working-

men was held in front of the Royal Exchange this afternoon ; 10,000 people were present, were present, Henry George, Helen Taylor, William Scunders, and other well known Radicals were loudly cheered as they ap- peared,” You will note it was the hon. gentleman’s friends who were the orators of the day on that occasion— Radicals. The hon. gent man loves to be called a Radical, and his friends were to the front orating to the workingmen of London on that occasiva :

‘The epeaking began at 3 o’clock. Radica} pamphlets of the most advanced description met with immense sale, Some of these were headed in bold type with the werds ‘Blood, bullets and bayonets,’ and presented an ex. traordinary appeal to the ‘half-starved, her- ring-gutted, poverty-stricken, parish-damned A resolution was passed declaring ‘ That the depression in trade and the chronic poverty and difficulty of finding work are intolerable evils which those who suffer them ought not to tamely endure.’ ”

There is the condition of the workingmen of England at the present time. The hon. member for Hants (Mr. Allison) read an extract from a newspaper this evening, showing that the industries in Windsor, in s county, were in a

PROSPEROUS CONDITION,

and stating that there were few or no un- employed people there. I believe the eame may be said with regard to the rest of the. When you compare that with the statement I have just read from England, ! think it is favorable to our country. But we know the workingmen of England aie not employed to-day. We are sorry for it, but still we ought not to endeavor to make it appear that the workingmen cannot find an asylum in Canada, or that if they come over here they will find it much worse than it is in their own country. We know that a large delegation of workingmen waited on Lord Granville, and stated that 30,000 men were out of employment in London alone, and asking how to find employment for them, that they might support themselves and families. When we know this we should not conceal the facts; or, if wo state them at all, we should state them in such a manner as to show that the workingmen of Canada are not in such a bad position as the workingmen of England.
